A FOAM PADDING HAVING HOLLOW VOLUMES AND A FLEXIBLE BAND
A foam padding (10) is disclosed. The foam padding (10) has sections (32, 34), each covering at least one hollow volume (12, 14) of the padding said padding (10) including a flexible elongated band (20) for transferring thermal energy from at least one hollow volume (12) in a first one of said sections (32) in the event of excess thermal energy towards at least one hollow volume (14) in a second section (34) in the padding (10) not containing excess thermal energy. The band (20) has a continuous electrically conducting layer (22) with a defined area extending from at least one first section (32) to another different second section (34).
PILLOW INCLUDING GELATINOUS ELASTOMER CUSHIONING MATERIALS
A pillow includes a first pillow cushion consisting essentially of a gelatinous elastomer that is sized and configured to support a head and neck of a person using the pillow cushion and a second pillow cushion coupled thereto. The pillow cushion has deformable wall members located and configured to define voids therebetween such that the deformable wall members may be displaced into adjacent voids upon deformation of the deformable wall members. The deformable wall members are configured to buckle when a pressure applied to a cushioning surface of the first pillow cushion, in a direction perpendicular to a first major surface, exceeds a threshold pressure level. A pillow cover covers the first pillow cushion and the second pillow cushion. A method of fabricating a pillow includes enclosing such first and second pillow cushions in a pillow cover.

FURNITURE HAVING DETACHABLE DECORATIVE TRIM PIECES
Decorative trim pieces having a variety of different shapes and colors and being configured to be removably attached to an exterior face of an article of furniture (e.g., a bookcase) so that the trim pieces can be detached from the furniture and replaced by different trim pieces by which to change the ornamental appearance of the furniture when necessary. Each trim piece has a set of plugs extending therefrom to be removably received by respective plug holes formed in the exterior face of the furniture, whereby to hold the trim piece in place. The decorative trim pieces and the plugs extending therefrom are preferably manufactured from a resilient cushion material that is adapted to be compressed and absorb impact forces in response to an individual inadvertently bumping into the article of furniture at the trim pieces that are removably attached thereto.

Bedding product comprising a foamed latex layer, slab of such foamed latex layer for cutting a bedding product therefrom and method of manufacturing thereof
A method for producing a bedding product has at least a foamed latex layer. The method includes pouring liquid latex foam on a conveyor belt. The liquid latex foam is vulcanized in a vulcanization station to obtain a vulcanized latex foam slab. The vulcanized latex foam slab is cut to a desired length and/or width. Electromagnetic waves with a frequency ranging between 1 and 50 Mhz are used for at least partially vulcanizing the liquid latex foam.

Cushion
A cushion includes a cushion core, adopting blasted sponge, and the cushion core comprising a main bearing area and an auxiliary bearing area; an outer cover layer, wrapping an outer layer of the cushion core, and the outer cover layer adopting a fiber material which is of a reticular structure; and a reinforcing skeleton comprising a plurality of bone bridges, and each bone bridge comprising an arch base and an arch bridge. For each bone bridge, the arch base is located at two side-by-side corners of one side of the cushion core, and is close to one side of the main bearing area; one end of the arch bridge is connected to the arch base, and the other end of the arch bridge extends to a diagonal opposite corner of the other side of the cushion core, and is close to one side of the auxiliary bearing area.
